Onetime Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton displayed all the political skill for which she is famous in a Monday night appearance on NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. There, she was asked how Democrats could overcome voters’ dissatisfaction with the two likeliest presidential nominees, but Clinton summarily rejected the premise.
“What do you say to voters who are upset that those are the two choices?” Fallon asked. “Get over yourself,” Clinton responded. “Those are the two choices.” She went on to heap scorn on the muddled thinking that has led millions of Americans to reject both major party’s nominees. “I don’t understand why this is even a hard choice,” Clinton remarked. “Really. I don’t understand it.” Indeed, she didn’t seem to have any interest in or desire to clear up her own confusion. If Clinton retained an ounce of intellectual curiosity, it was not in evidence in this segment.
